Community LIFT

Since 2011, LIFT has been a catalyst for change, working to advance Memphis by accelerating the revival of its disinvested neighborhoods. We pursue national relationships and dollars and align them with local resources. Together, those investments are then strategically distributed in the form of grants and loans primarily to Community Development Corps., Grassroots Leaders, and Neighborhood Businesses.
